Task
| Oxygen shots |
In February 2012 oxygen shots became big news when X factor, britian got talent and Americans got talent judge Simon Cowell showed up on the red carpet with a bottle of oxygen shots. Oxygen shots are successful in marketing because celebrities such as Simon Cowell have promoted the product. However oxygen shots have negative results which impacts buyers. In my opinion I would never by the product because of the damage it can cause such as stiff joints, elevated fatigue, memory loss and wrinkled skin. |
| Coconut oil |
Coconut oil is promoted with many companies,such as cooking companies, skin and hair companies. The product is known for its natural and healthy reasons. The marketing of coconut oil is successful because of the natural and healthy ingredients. Coconut oil has had negative times about safety reasons but they are usually rumours. Coconut oil is priced at a reasonably exspancive price. http://www.healthyme.gr/en/products/1641-organic-virgin-coconut-oil-hydrating-radiance-elixir-30ml |
| Purple diet |
The purple diet is promoted on the internet, social media and Heath companies. The purple diet is appetising and bright in colour wich encourages people to try it. However the purple diet can be extremely expensive to purchase purple foods. The ion in the purple diet is very low wich is unhealthy for the body. I would love to test the purple diet because of the foods envolved and the before and after pictures. There has been Heath problems due to the purple diets ion rates and protein. |

Conclusion
While approaching this task I learned about the virity of different health fads and the symptoms they can cause. I also learnt about the marketing system in health Fads, for example sings, tv adds, newspapers and lots more. Compenies use photos to bride costermes. I believe newspapers are good advertisements because newspapers are daily and are reed.
